'Time is short': Alex Hawke tells Afghans who worked with Australia to act now

After the initial fatal chaos on the tarmac, the United States has secured Kabul’s international airport for now and is hopeful the window for evacuation flights can remain open until the end of the month.

Despite Taliban assurances those who want to leave would be granted safe passage, there have been numerous reports of violence, including shootings, around the airport perimeter.Mr Hawke's comments also show the federal government is considering the situations of Afghans who have certification documents but may not have been granted a visa.

I believe the ex vets who have told us you ignored them for months.

HOW THE FUK DO THEY DO THAT? auspol

Surely the Australian government keeps records of these things?

Need to be careful Australia doesn't cop ringins from Taliban

annajhenderson Why did we blindly follow the US into their invasions of Afghanistan? And why didn’t the AU government grant all Afghans, who helped AU troops, permanent residency? Morrison is the too little too late man who is never there. Question everything.

Who are you talking to? Come forward to where? You ran away... you ran away back to Australia

A big message to every far off land - don’t trust Australia ever again. We will turn our back on you when it suits us. Cut and run, OiOiOi.

So ScuMo and Co have evacuated 102 ppl thus far. Jesus wept.

And those who had to destroy these documents in fear of their lives?

Exactly the paperwork that would get you killed if Taliban foot soldiers caught you with it on you.

You're telling 'interpreters, translators and others' to 'come forward immediately' as if they haven't been begging for visas, support and safe passage out of Afghanistan for years. Clearly they must be helped but stop making it sound like their blood isn't on our hands.

The horse has bolted

And they sitting and waiting for your tweet.

Where the fcuk would someone get their documents certified in Afghanistan currently. The Australian Government is an embarrassment to humanity.

Come forward? Where exactly when the Australian embassy is closed & we hear of accounts that there is no process or anywhere for fleeing Afghans to come forward to.

VoteThemOut having Hawke manage this humanitarian disaster can only end one way ..

Come forward where? At the local Taliban post office perhaps?

If only this government ‘acted now’ when they were told of this crisis weeks and months ago.

Shattered Sydney Afghans urge Australia to fulfil 'moral obligation'Sydneysiders with deep connections to Afghanistan say Australia must act to help those in danger back home. The Afghani men and army ran away from their “moral obligation”. Have a chat with them first maybe 🤷🏾‍♂️ Inappropriate photograph considering the headline. I thought this was where your family called home. Yes I would like to see Australia helping if ppl in Afghanistan want and need it. I think as ppl we should feel a moral obligation to help. Be nice if ppl living here saw this as home too.
